The Interstate commission has allowed
the publication of a letter written by
them to General Traffic Manager Haney,
of the Minnesota & Northwestern, who
had asked relief from the operation of
the fourth clause of the act, and stating
that his road was being injured by the
enforcement of the law. The commits
sion does not state what will be done in
any given case. but from their letter, the
following points are gathered outlining
their Interpretation of the law:
First-That the commissioners do not con.
to suspend the operation of the fourth sec
ton, which they believe to be the vital point
of the law.
second-That the letter and the spirit of
the Law are Just as much binding upon the
commission as they are upon the general pub
lie, and 1t Is not for the commission to sus.
pend the operation of the long and short
haul clause because 1t may seem to them to
be oppressive or to be an unwise law. With
the wisdom or the unwisdom OF the law they
have and can have no concern. It seems
clear that strict enforcement of the law will
In some cases result In hardship; but It Is
equally clear that the congress, expecting
that that would be the result, believed also
good to the greatest number. and that is tho
object sought to be accomplished.
Third-That the commission therefore, in
the exercise of the limited discretion given
1t to suspend the operation Of the fourth Sec
ton In certain cases; win be governed by the
letter of the law. and will order no suspension
except for special reasons and after an ex-
animation as to the facts in each case.

that he would succeed the late Justice
Woods, of the Supreme Court, is report
ed to have said:

On liquors for the purpose of keeping it
the tariff taxi up" Following the
line of policy marked out by the reve

Messrs. Carlisle, Breckenridge and other
prominent Democrats since its adjourn

the repeal of the tobacco tax in order tC
secure the repeal or modification of the

We will do the best we can in the linn
tied time at our command, promising by
saying it is more than possible that we
may not be strictly accurate; but with
the Auditor and Treasurer to scrutinize
what we may write, it is not probable
that any mistake will be long uncor-
rected.
We would speak more confidently
of the result of our investigation,
except that the transactions are
umerous, extending through Sc
ries Of years, printed in number Of
books, and told by multitude Of fig
ures. There are few men, who, in such
limited time as we can command, could
take the published reports and make a
statement and feel absolutely certain
that it was free from error. We believe
that ours will prove to be substantially
correct, and if not altogether SO, it may
open the way to better one. 1t is in
tended to be fair and impartial.
The reports of the Treasurer show the
State debt to have been as follows, on
